Great memories from the first ever 2009 W3S Conclave
We will remember our first Conclave as a great starting point for our Section. The three of use who were elected, that Saturday night, have been working hard on new plans to make next years Conclave unique, and fun in its own way.
The 220 over Arrowmen who descended to Royaneh, from September 25-27, 2009, experienced some in depth training, the OA Pow-Wow, Midway, and of course competitions. Thomas (Section Vice-Chief) wanted to incorporate some new events at our first Conclave so he thought of having a Water Polo competition. This was a fun event that required getting in the water (Arrowmen liked that idea due to the beastly heat).
Dinner was served by the Vigil Honors. It was a very nice treat to be served by the members of our Section who had reached that high point in our Order.
The Section election started right after Dinner, at 7 p.m. in the Dinning Hall. Each Lodge had the ability to have at most, 10 votes (for up to 10 Youth Arrowmen present at the election). Their was a total of 66 votes from all eight Lodges present in the hall. For a Officer to be elected, he would need at least 34 votes. Western Region Chief, David Harrell ran our 2009-2010 Section Election. Each round eliminated the least amount of votes collected by that one candidate. This would happen until a candidate reached a majority of the votes. Five Arrowmen from our Section ran for Section Chief. After an intense four rounds of voting, Alan Camarillo became our new Section W3S Chief. Four members ran for Section Vice-Chief. After three rounds of voting, Bradley Bottoms became our Section Vice-Chief. Three members ran for Section Secretary. After two rounds of voting, Indy Nelson became your Section Secretary.
Following the Saturday Night Show, Western Region Chief, David Harrell, ran OA Jeopardy at the theatre. Arrowmen from all eight Lodges participated in the competition by answering some history and raking up some points. |
